THE MUSIC: Too lounge to be dance, too dance to be jazz, too jazz to be electronic, too electronic to be trip hop... Well, needless to say, Michiko has cooked up her own recipe but we'll let you decide the flavour... THE ARTIST: If you were to mix the blood of German & Japanese parents, raise the child in Sydney, give her a piano at the age of 6, singing lessons from the age of 16. With 2 CDs full of self-written & recorded material under her belt, move her to Germany where you train her in Studio Sound & Recording techniques, introduce her to jazz and then give her a plane ticket to London, what you would get is Michiko today. MICHIKO sings, writes, records & mixes all her own material. Her long awaited debut album "Daydreamer" is a result of 3 years hard work and absolutely EVERYTHING has been done by the artist herself (yes everything!).
